Serials have their positive and negative sides, according to a psychologist.

“Serials create another ‘reality’ where people can forget about their concerns and problems. However, many of them affect the audience, specifically the youth, who try to imitate their ‘heroes’ in real life. I have once witnessed a suicide attempt by a 9-year-old boy, who wanted to behave like his favorite film character,” Khachatur Gasparyan said.

“Most of Armenian serials message aggression, that is why they are very dangerous,” he said.
